Leslie Moya, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Texas

About Leslie

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who offers direct, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who want straightforward strategies and steady emotional support. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at parents and adults looking for help managing life changes and tough moments.

Leslie focuses on creating an open space where clients can talk about what’s hard without judgment.

Background and approach

She draws on practical methods to build coping skills, increase motivation, and strengthen self-worth. Sessions emphasize clear steps you can try between meetings. With five years of professional experience, Leslie holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Texas.

She blends structured techniques with a client-centered attitude to meet each person where they are. That means listening first, then choosing tools that fit the person’s life and goals. Her work addresses common family and parenting concerns alongside relationship stress, caregiving strain, chronic health challenges, and end-of-life or hospice-related issues.

She also supports people navigating multicultural concerns and women’s issues. Therapy options include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are offered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online parenting and family stress

Leslie commonly uses client-centered work that starts by listening carefully to what matters most to a person. This approach helps identify priorities and builds a collaborative plan so the client feels heard and involved in decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more useful ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.

Mindfulness techniques are included to teach simple ways to slow down, notice strong emotions, and reduce reactivity. These practices can support people coping with grief, chronic illness, or caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then try methods that fit each person’s life. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy parents and adults. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice-only contact, and live chat or text messaging provide short, flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to fit regular support into a hectic schedule and to continue progress between meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
